INDY RACING LEAGUE TRANSPORTER CONVOY STOPPING IN DENVER

FOUNTAIN, Colo. - At least six of the most beautiful Pep Boys Indy Racing
League team 18-wheel transporters will be on display free to the public at
Park Meadows Mall from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 12.

After the Hauler Corral, the rigs will make the short journey south to
Pikes Peak International Raceway.

Several of the top Indy Car teams will display their sleek racers, and
some of the IRL drivers are expected to be hand to sign autographs.

NFL'S HARBAUGH, DRIVER GOODYEAR LOOKING FOR IRL TOUCHDOWN

Scott Goodyear grew up as a staunch hockey fan in Canada, but he is being
converted to a football follower by Baltimore Ravens quarterback Jim
Harbaugh, one of the four co-owners of Pennzoil Panther Racing.

Goodyear, a veteran from Carmel, Ind., who is tied with Kenny Brack for
fourth in the IRL, joined the new Pennzoil Panther Racing team last winter
after some soul-searching about staying as the second driver to two-time
Indianapolis 500 winner Arie Luyendyk on the Treadway Racing team.

Goodyear, a Toronto native, naturally is a hockey follower. But he has
been converted to football since becoming associated with Harbaugh.

Goodyear and Harbaugh are close to the same age and each is a star in his
own arena. But Harbaugh said he can't compare himself to a race driver.

Harbaugh said there is a tremendous amount of teamwork involved in both
sports. He said it is not just the driver against the other 32 in the
race, but everybody who prepares the car and services it against other
teams up and down the pits.

Harbaugh said it is fun to watch the crew members head-butting, giving
high fives and displaying their game faces and seeing Goodyear emotionally
charged just as he is before a game.

"It's great," he said.

Harbaugh makes no suggestions in the pits during the race. He is learning
and told the crew to treat him like he is a fourth-grader.
